The Ultra Montanes: "Late" (Lakota)

Call me an old New Waver, but every time I hear this two and-a-half minutes of tightlywound power-pop, I get an attack of the CBGB's. The Ultras can sometimes sound like a bag of cats being tossed into a moshpit, but is a nicely-paced tune, and lines like "How come all of your good days are the days I always miss?" suit Rory's Tom Verlainesque vocals down to a sneer.
